Bromotrichloromethane

Abstract

This feature focuses on a reagent chosen by a postgraduate, highlighting the uses and preparation of the reagent in current research Bromotrichloromethane Compiled by Fanny CrosFanny Cros was born in 1984 in Perpignan, France. She received a B.Sc. degree from the University of Montpellier II and after studying for two years at the University of Lyon 1, she obtained a DEA in organic chemistry (M.Sc. degree). She is currently carrying out her Ph.D. at the University of Lyon 1 under the supervision of Professor Olivier Piva. Her research interests focus on the application of tandem metathesis reactions for the synthesis of marine natural products.

Catalyst‐ and Metal‐Free Photo‐Oxidative Coupling of Thiols with BrCCl3

“…As a cheap, relatively stable and commercially available reagent, [41] bromotrichloromethane (BrCCl 3 ) has been involved in a variety of radical reactions, such as benzylic bromination, [42] radical additions to unsaturated bonds, [43] C−H hydroxylation, [44] cross‐dehydrogenation, [45] dehydrogenation of heteroaromatic compounds [46] . Recently, we reported a mild photocatalytic bromination of arenes with BrCCl 3 as bromine source in high para ‐regioselectivity [47] .…”
